After serving approximately a decade behind bars, Maino was released from prison in 2003. Seeking a new path, he founded his own independent record label, Hustle Hard Entertainment. He quickly began creating and distributing mixtapes, gaining local radio airplay in New York City through tracks such as “Rumors” and “Take It Like a Man.” These early successes earned him attention from major record labels.
In 2005, he signed with Universal Records. However, plans for a debut album under the label stalled, and the album Death Before Dishonor was never released. Maino left the label in 2007. That same year, he released the single “Hi Hater,” which served as the lead track from his debut studio album, If Tomorrow Comes… The follow-up single, “All the Above” featuring T-Pain, became a commercial success, breaking into the Billboard Hot 100 and solidifying his presence in the mainstream hip-hop scene. He also contributed a track to the soundtrack of the video game Grand Theft Auto IV that year.
In 2010, Maino released an EP titled Unstoppable, followed by his second studio album The Day After Tomorrow in 2012. While the album did not achieve the same commercial impact as his debut, singles like “Let It Fly” garnered positive responses from fans and critics alike.
Later in 2012, Maino formed a rap collective called The Black Flag Mafia, which went on to release a mixtape that year. Expanding his collaborations, he teamed up with dance-pop singer Erika Jayne in 2015 to release the single “Crazy,” which achieved considerable success, further showcasing his versatility as an artist.
Maino is known for maintaining a private personal life away from public scrutiny. There is no publicly confirmed information regarding his marital status, children, or any previous divorces. Despite few public disclosures about his personal finances, his music career and business ventures have reportedly earned him a commendable net worth, reflecting his success in the music industry.
